Sintering Behavior, Microstructure, and Mechanical Properties: A Comparison among Pressureless Sintered Ultra-Refractory Carbides
Figure 5
SEM micrographs of the polished surface of (a) HC10 and (b) HC10* (ultrasonicated). The bright grains are HfC, and the dark phase is MoSi2. Note the change in the matrix morphology and size after the ultrasonication step in (b).
